Figure Lengend Snippet: WT and mutant FPN1 cycles in the early endosome/plasma membrane compartment in human macrophages. (A) Coimmunofluorescence staining of FPN1 (green) with markers (red) for early endosomes, EE (EEA‐1), lysosomes (LAMP‐1), plasma membrane, PM (Na,K‐ATPase), Golgi (golgin‐97), and endoplasmatic reticulum, ER (calnexin), shows that FPN1 colocalizes with early endosomes and lysosomes (merge panels, yellow) in p.A77D, p.G80S, and pVal162del macrophages, whereas it is almost exclusively localized in the EE compartment, in p.A69T and donor macrophages. (B) Coimmunostaining of FPN1 (green) with TfR1 (red; a marker for the early endocytic recycling compartment) shows that FPN1 colocalizes with TfR1 in donor as well as in p.G80S and p.A77D macrophages. (C) Treatment of macrophages from donors and p.A77D patients with dynasore to block dynamin‐dependent endocytosis leads to accumulation of both FPN1 and TFR1 in the PM compartment.
